Hamas has called on Israel to allow an impartial international investigation into its attack on 7 October 2023 and has rejected that it killed civilians or committed atrocities.

“The resistance did not target any hospital, school, or house of worship; it did not kill a single journalist or any member of ambulance crews. We challenge [Israel] to prove otherwise,” it said.

In the new document, Hamas said that “Western media and Zionist lobby groups” had launched a disinformation campaign about the events of the attack.

“The Israeli entity promoted a series of lies and fallacies about killing children and raping women, paving the way to proceed with an all-out genocide project that was pre-planned and aimed to erase Gaza from existence,” it said.

    Violence begets violence. If someone shot at me I’d shoot back, wouldn’t you?

      It doesn’t work as well at a national scale. If you shoot my sister, that doesn’t mean I should shoot your sister.

        Should or shouldn’t is not the question. When someone shoot your sister and the whole world know that the murderer killed your sister scientifically you would seek vengeance.

        So then Israel killing 30k civilians for revenge is what exactly aside from a war crime?
